This article tries to develop a working guide to the officers on the issue of payment to non-residents. The fundamental point to be examined by the Assessing Officers in connection with disallowance under section 40(a)(i) of the Income Tax Act of any payment to a non-resident is whether the sum is taxable under the provisions of the Income Tax Act or not. The next point is whether the non-resident is entitled to treaty benefit to escape source-country taxation or not. With quick reference to the relevant sections of the Income Tax Act and the relevant articles of a typical treaty, two particular expenses, viz, software payments and export commission are picked up for further analysis. A check list is also prepared for guidance of the Assessing Officers. The need for co-ordination between the Assessing Unit and the TDS Unit of International Taxation is also highlighted.
